It's available, and some people pay for it. I would be very careful to read all the fine print though.

For me, the cost of routine care, spay/neuter, and a certain amount of unforseen expenses should be part of what you plan for when you get a pet. Beyond that, it's a judgment call as to whether the cost of some treatment is worth it. I know people who have spent thousands of dollars treating cancer in an old dog, and others who have euthanized younger pets who developed expensive but in theory treatable health problems. I don't think either approach is wrong, it's up to the owner.

Good to see that the establishment's broad and growing power to censor speech won't be abused. We're in good hands.
I’m in Australia we unfortunately mimic the US when it comes to many health ailments - my girlfriend has T1 diabetes.

I am offended with the intentionally slow roll when it comes to artificial pancreas solution development... moreso, the regulatory hurdles these products are being held up in.

That said, there is a willing hacker community around CGM solutions that can be dove into that yields pretty awesome results in function and hip pocket savings.
The issue is with "Content-Encoding: gzip". In that case, "Content-Length" isn't enough. You can make it work if you toss in an extra header server-side.
Maybe I’m a bad person, but this is my take. If someone uses the r word once in a while. Like it slips out when High school slang mode kicks in, I’m Okay. If it’s someone’s go to word, I feel that person is on the uncouth side of things. I’m not going to report someone to HR over it, or terminate a friendship, but I may minimize interaction with them.

But that goes for all excess vulgarity not just the r word. It’s not that I’m offended, but it’s a personal taste for less crassness.
You've limited your experience to the loudest and most crass factions of the side you disparage as a whole. This is a form of straw man argument.
That's like saying that southerners flying confederate flags is "just their culture, not meant to be taken literally". That dog don't hunt.
I’m not a religious or spiritual person, but I assure you my cat told me when he wanted to fight, and when he was ready to go. I’ve never seen a cat so happy as when he saw me again after that long week in the hospital, and likewise when he was on the floor of the bedroom in pain, his face and his little weak voice told me he was ready to go the same as each person I’ve been with in their last moments.

Over the past decade or so we have seen the increasing power of social media that can manipulate numerous people into behaving a certain way for a certain outcome.
Just look at the last four years...

Would it be possible to target specific financial institutions in the market to cause volatility and or a crash?
A sort of social media driven financial weapon.
What about non-experimental questions, like how did life form? There is useful research regarding these questions with great, educated guesses on the unknowable parts - is it not science?

Also, nitpick but it would be absurd to call ‘religion’ not real. Like, one of the most fundamental organizations in the previous centuries is something I would not call non-existent. Whether God exists or not is a different, philosophical question - and to a degree it is similar to the how did life start on Earth question, with hypotheses that can’t necessarily be verified.
What if the act of telling people in the front half caused a stampede, which trampled five people to death, knocked a candle over, and burned the whole theatre down?

The thing about bank runs is that if everyone, everywhere thinks there's a bank run happening, this will actually cause the financial system to collapse. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

But if most people don't think a bank run is happening, then the system can weather a few bad banks popping.
Indeed, I saw it with my own eyes when my daughter went on it, luckily we manage to realise what is going on. It is crazy that they ban WSB or Trump but let pedos do their thing without a problem.

At absolute zero, ambient oxygen would solidify. Not sure what happens if you drop a match on a bunch of solid oxygen, but I imagine it's not good.
Oh, anyone now could very well be blowing a bunch of money too, of course.

But you think making a gamble that seems like less of a sure thing is less greedy than if you think it's a sure thing? The more of a sure thing you think it is the greedier you are? That's not really clear to me.

But maybe it's really about the "true believer" thing. You think people in later were only there to make money, but those in earlier were "true believers" in something other than making money? What? They also planned to make money though?
This has nothing to do with the banter and everything to do with who's ox is being gored in the short squeeze.
Does it not “show up” because it’s being downloaded to a temp directory and moved over when it’s done? That’s a pretty common thing.

Your comment isn’t clear enough to explain what is happening. What’s your setup (browser and everything)? You claim a bug without giving enough information about how the bug appears. Because if this bug were as widespread as you make it sound, we’d hear about it.
> People who repeatedly spread "hate speech" and "discriminatory content" and "glorify violence" after repeated warnings not to do so are pretty likely to be spreading a wide variety of "misinformation" other than financial fraud.

None of these things (in quotes) can even be defined, and anyone who believes that the government or some tech oligarch is going to be a fair judge must have been born yesterday. It's ridiculous how we can both simultaneously criticize countries like China, but at the same time encourage the exact same types of suppression in our own Westernized way.

> and if you're doing crud stuff, most of the work is frankly done for you.

React sucks for large complex forms unless you pair it with another technology or two.

Want to write a crud app fast? C# and Winforms.

Couple years back, I once did a prototype of a web app in C# and Winforms connected to Firebase. Less than a day, done.

Month later, had it working in React. Granted the React website looked nice, but the difference in efficiency is huge.

Data binding 20 fields on C# is a matter of minutes. Data binding 20 fields in React, and with Redux, ugh. I really should have just learned Redux Forms.

And for any given forms library in React, you then get to practice learning how to beat it into shape and style it how you want.

I, no kidding, think writing CRUD apps was easier with VB6 and Microsoft Access.

I think at this point every single unpopular or questionable action made by an institution is going to go with a "it's to prevent hate/discrimination" justification. It's an easy way to get a credulous mob on your side; you can always nutpick random examples; and if someone argues against it they just prove they're one of the racists/whatever.
Getting really sick and tired of these platforms deciding on a whim on who to allow access. Either moderate everyone or no one!
Somehow we've regressed to 2000s levels of aggravating websites. When I want to buy a thing from a retail chain, I go to their site ready to search and have to click through multiple pop-ups first. No I don't want to subscribe to whatever bullshit, no I don't want to allow access to location data, no I don't care about stupid cookies, no I'm not wasting time talking to a chatbot that interleaves computer generated and human generated text with unpredictable delays. Just get out of my face and let me buy the thing I'm here for. I could understand all that for, say, a news site where they need to suck you in to subscribe for them to make money, but not a retailer where you're obviously there because you already want to buy something!
Was there ever a grassroot revolution that wasn't instigated, or at least backed, by foreign powers? I can't think of one.
The way I understood it, is that its a combination of a short squeeze and gamma squeeze that could potentially bring it way up and then have it plummet down. This only works is if the hedge funds have!’t already liquidated their short positions (as the media says they have) and it’s a bluff. Seeing as its down aftermarket, it may have happened already but no one really knows. Seeing as WSB is down, found this[1] to be a pretty informative breakdown into all this.

All the voice chat options that existed in the gaming world prior to Discord's dominance still exist, except with those options you have to pay for your own hosting like every gaming clan used to do prior to Discord. This is the cost of "free". It doesn't help that Discord has the best chat client on the market, so the competitors need to step it up.

I know decades of conservative rhetoric say otherwise but governments often run things efficiently and effectively.
IMHO nothing you said contradicts with anything I said.

People are free to buy or not-buy any stock, and to sell or not-sell any stock that they already hold. Everyone trading is an adult and is free to do it (notwithstanding things like insider trading, etc).

There is nothing illegal in the activities that I've seen: just people/institutions trading and holding stocks in an open market.

Some of those people are/will be making money through these actions and some are/will be losing money. As Nick Maggiulli recently posted (on a somewhat unrelated topic):

> If it wasn’t obvious before, it bears repeating now—some people are going to beat you at investing. Some of them will be dumber than you. Some will be less knowledgable. Some will even be completely wrong about the future. But they will beat you just the same. There is no great arbiter of justice in the investment world. There is no cosmic force that ensures that only the knowledgable make money. If there were, then I would be a far richer man today.

It's noteworthy that these groups were mostly active in the 20th century as opposition to governments while right-wing extremists have been the government of many countries, including the US until recently.

I just don't think the decorator should be required for static methods. If you write `def foo(a, b)` inside a class, the lack of `self` should be sufficient to make `foo` a static method.

IMO it would make sense for Python to look at `a, b` and assume you wanted a static method with two parameters. Instead it assumes you're using `a` instead of `self` and really wanted an instance method with one parameter.
I mean your comment is based on the assumption that hate speech doesn't happen online. in my experience, places like discord and a bunch of subreddits are sweltering with it. it is not surprising at all that something that blew up as fast as this had trouble moderating hate speech out and became a host for it.
Apple is the new Microsoft when it comes to foot dragging, don't hold your breath.
The way bans on reddit have tended to work is that by dispersing the group, there's an additional barrier created to stop the spread of the idea. This has happened with fatpeoplehate, the trump reddit, and with the red pill reddit among others. Its not just a group of people of a similar knowledge level and similar ideas coming together, it is also new users happening across the subreddit and deciding to take part. Take away the new users and it becomes an echo chamber.

This is what makes Youtube, Reddit and Facebook so powerful. They can choose who can stay on their platform, and how much discoverability their ideas have if they are allowed to stay on the platform.

>The non-Tesla experience is almost comically sad.

Right now, after watching that video, went to the Ford site to order Mach-E (not really order, mainly to get config and price). Fail. Right on the first step there - on attempt to choose a dealer (minor point here is why i have to choose one now?) - webpage produces "Internal Error" and couldn't proceed further. The traditional car makers just don't get it. That is why Tesla is a $T company.
How do you know they don’t think that the GameStop bag will have money in it?
I wonder if that was an administrative decision. Browsing to it directly constantly errors out and when browsing /r/all it doesn’t show up. They complained to the mods about limiting comment threads. I wonder just how taxing this activity is on their servers.

This is why I hope that being a techncial writer will help me in my SaaS endevours in the future.
I wonder if we've entered an new part of history with regard to moderation and enforcement of rules online.

I disliked Trump, parler and the kind of alt-right shit you could find on Twitter, but by using their right to ban anyone, I think Facebook and Twitter showed that there was no repercussion to censoring/deplatforming users that did not align with their internal values and now we will see those events become much more common as companies become risk averse with regard to the kind of content they host.
Why do they mention ensuring reddit's content policy? That's a hammer admins bring out when they want to ban a subreddit. Did admins lean on the mods?

It's been bringing bad press on Reddit and that's usually the trigger for the admins to enforce their content policy.

(see the Donald, racist subs, fat people hate, violentacrez, jailbait - while these clearly did violate their policies, it took bad PR for enforcement to happen)
The discord for WSB was a bit more than just ablest slurs but the timing of this is just a bad business move unless there's more to it. It doesn't make any real sense from a liability aspect unless they were going to plan some kind of insurrection against the government... you can just as easily ban them for this same reason "multiple warnings" next week. There had to have been external pressure on someone higher up or someone with a stake in the game.

A Simple Commandline Interface For Manipulating STL Files
Calling it a secessionist movement isn't an apt characterization, which in US history calls to mind the Southerners' attempt to Secede from the USA. The revolutionaries, rather, considered themselves a number of independent colonies, coming together in opposition to British rule, where they were lacking in representation. They would not see themselves as "part" of Britain in a way the Southerners clearly were part of the USA.

In contrast, the South was fully represented in the Northern government, and Lincoln was quite conciliatory and kind to them when he was able. However, they were fighting for an extremely immoral cause, which the 1776 Revolutionaries were not really doing as the issue of slavery was much less an issue than in the 1850's.

Hi, author here. You can think of density plots as a way to visualize the data traditionally visualized with line charts or spaghetti plots, but in a way that scales more effectively to large datasets.

Traditional graphics pipelines aren't built to handle more than 256 incremental levels of opacity since it's an 8-bit channel, and when you have a thousand time series you can no longer distinguish between levels of density. Conditional information (following a single line) becomes difficult as well since there are so many lines. Density plots solve the overdraw problem by accumulating density into an offscreen buffer before rendering, which allows the color scale to be tuned to the amount of overlap in the specific dataset. Interactive selection/hover techniques can be used to recover conditional information.

This example is part of a density plot library published earlier this week (https://observablehq.com/@twitter/density-plot-introduction?...) and one of the references there is to an opacity-based approach I've seen used for 2D point clouds, though I haven't seen an analogous demo for curves: https://observablehq.com/@rreusser/selecting-the-right-opaci...
I’m taking that as granted and going further: redistribution at any scale is unlikely to have the desired effect on the poor, regardless of how it affects the person being expropriated.
Where do you determine short interest figures for a stock?

> There is almost none real p2p webrtc traffic happening in reality because most people don‘t have enough upload bandwidth to transmit their video to all participating peers.

Many providers choose to use SFU's even when not needed because they have features like recording that require it. I've gotten much better quality and latency on normal webrtc than I have over slack, teams, hangouts, even over bad mobile networks.
Well, yes. When in a domain that is heavily noun driven it makes sense to reach for OO. It's just that most domains aren't (hence Yegge's famous article re: nouns and verbs).

Looks like there is another alternate communities springing up. Found this one: wsbets.win
so... a finely-binned colormap?

I'm not sure it's not quite right either, because the weight of each series in a bin should depend on the derivative but it doesn't look like it does.

This sort of plot always has a conflict between showing the distribution of each time domain sample and showing the time behavior of each curve. For the former, showing quantile contours may be clearer (though not as pretty!). For the latter different colors with transparency might be better, though it becomes unintelligible at some point.

The issue is how you, as a (potential) patient, is going to interpret the fact that Doctor X graduated from a given med school. As a reader of libertarian stuff for 30 years, the usual answers are some combination of:

1) independent rating agency for med schools
2) independent rating agency for doctors (i.e. med school was irrelevant)
3) patient reviews for doctors

25 years of amzn have helped established serious questions about (3)

(1) and (2) have the usual "who watches the watchers?" problems, which are fairly isomorphous to the problems with (3). And even without those issues, who wants to have do this level of research? Yeah, I know, libertarian nerds (meant with all possible respect). But almost nobody else.

Part of the point (not all of it, to be sure) of things like the AMA, the FDA and other governmental regulation is to make people's lives simpler. Stop worrying about whether the doctor you're going to see has even met a basic level of medical qualification, and focus on whether you like their personality and approach, for example.
beautifully put, and exactly what i came away with as well. and yes, it often feels like swimming against the current to actually care about the content of your work. so many parts of our work culture expect us to be completely indifferent to what we are actually doing. ive always admired this experiment for being so elegant and powerful.

I used to have a 300mm Nikon lens and if I would stand a couple feet away from my bamboo blind while it was closed (it had some little gaps), I could focus on an object about 100ft away on the other side and you could not see the blind... like it became invisible (I could not even see the object with my bar eyes).
